Context:
It is useful to receive notifications whenever a github action workflow running on mail fails. Github has a slack integration that can be configured, but that sends notification for every job in any state(started, cancelled, failed, succeeded). There is an open issue that hasn't been solved for 2 years.
Because of this, a manual job that triggers based on failures of selected job on main is a better approach, and it won't need to add the notification on each single job.
Description of the Change:
A new workflow is added that will send notification to a slack channel(specified in the webhook configuration in the slack settings).
Benefits:
Get notification when specified jobs fails on main
Possible Drawbacks:
None
